What is the overall view of Christian Internet dating?
It has now become one of the most popular and convenient ways for christians of this generation to meet and date. However is it right? is it safe? Can we really meet the partner God intends for us or are we open to being conned? I would love to hear your views and experiences...

I dated a guy that was recently divorced, his life was a mess and was looking for a new wife or perhaps just an affair come to think of it! I hate to think it but the outcome would suggest that was so! I fell in love with him and his little 8 yr old daughter and hoped it would work as I became so attached to her. It was a disaster. People need to be 100% honest about who they are, what they are and what they want, then internet dating may stand a remote chance of actually working! When someone says they are a christian, remember it is only a word, like any other one. Should you just trust a word alone? Or the actions and deeds of that person? Peoples feelings are not to be play around with. I believe that dating sites are as good as the person using them. You have to pray that when someone has the option of telling you the truth in their profile, that they chose that option!

I know several people who have tried this type of dating. However, here's the problem: Any type of long distance dating does not allow us to see the real person and what they're really like. It's easy to put on a pretense online, but seeing someone interact with others shows their true self. Until you meet the person, you never know who they really are. I know of someone who is anti-Christian (someone the Bible would call an apostate) who is on a Christian online dating service. He is apparently trying to lure some away from the faith. Internet dating is very dangerous. Don't do it.

My overall view of Christians as people of faith is that they're religious beliefs do not bear the burden of proof and thus the faith they profess should not be taken seriously. My overall view of Christians in terms of everyday living is pretty good. Most Christians I know are great people. I realize that among Christians that the political/social positions that they adopt run all across the board. As an atheist I find that Christian groups that are somewhat liberal are ones I agree on some issues with, like the ones you mention.

I know someone who went through E Harmony and she is married now and happy. She married a wonderful christian man. So I dont know...I mean from her experience I guess it is good- But if I were single I could not see myself going to a internet dating site- maybe I would who knows...but in the past I would of never of done that. Seems like you cannot trust anyone these days- especially online. But pray about this- God knows the desires of your heart...and He will work out what is best for you.

I think the problem is that many of the men on these sites are not as honest as they should be. If you are looking for just sex then be honest about it! Dont make out you want a wife or a soulmate Please! personally i dont altogether trust them + the sites are just out to make a quick buck, do they check the candidates?

Any kind of internet dating can be rough. But it's a great way (in my opinion) to get to know each other , before meeting in person.,
